his way to place dynamite bomb on the
track. The police had spotted him and
were shadowing his house, No. ALP, Larkin

morning and was closely followed by four
detectives, who ordered him to stop, but
be CONTINUED and ten shots were fired at
him, none OF which struck him. He was
finally captured by running into the arms
Of a policeman coming from the opposite
direction. While running he was seen to
throw something over q fence into the gar
den of q residence. This was recovered
and proved to be
DYNAMITE BOMB,
ready to be placed on the car
track. A quantity of dynamite and
materials for making bombs were later
found in his house. Dean was suspected
by the police to be implicated in dynamite
plots and immediately after Stiles arrest
search was made in Deans house, 81
Fourth street. A quantity OF dynamite
and other bomb material was found. He
was arrested. Stiles claims he had no in.
tention OF
PLACING THE DYNAMITE
on the track, but had left the house of one
Williams, whom he had agreed to accompany
and assist. He added it was his intention
to obtain sufficient evidence against Will
liams to convict him OF the crime and then
expose him to the authorities and gain the
reward offered for the apprehension of dy-
namiters. The police, however, place no
faith in Stiles story. Dean denies all
knowledge OF dynamite plots and processes
utter ignorance regarding how the bomb
material found in the house got there.
Both are striking car men.

The Secretary of the Treasury Resigns
President Cleveland's Reply.
WASHINGTON, February 15.-The follow
ing correspondence between the President
and Secretary Manning in regard to tn
latter's withdrawal from the Cabinet wal
made public this morning:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, February IA, 1887.
Ny dear sir-In view OF the near adjourn
ment of Congress. and in order that time
may suffice for the selection and confirma
tion OF my successor. desire again to place
my resignation OF the Office OF Secretary ol
the Treasury in your hands and trust you
will now deem it's acceptance no detriment
to the public service. When you requested
me last June to delay insisting upon the
acceptance OF my resignation, as again in
our conferences last October, you heard me
with such terms OF personal consideration.
and expressed so grave view in respect to
the requirements of the public service, that
it was as impossible to question my duty
as to forget your kindness. I have not
spared myself in the endeavor to comply
with your wish and to contribute to the
support OF the policies that have illustrated
your administration. The approaching
end of the forty-ninth Congress marks a
period in your own term OF Office and in
our own political calendar. If change
must occur in the heads of the departments
and at your council board, it is clear that
your personal convenience and public inte-
rests are best subserved should it occur
now. Moreover, the financial condition is
to be seriously different from that which
opened before us when the present Congress
entered upon it's life, and upon opportuni-
ties created by the transfer OF the peoples
trust to new hands. In this most
critical condition the ecircumspect
o! wise fiscal policy. or OF administrative
reforms in the collection and disbursement
of our revenues, is not alone demanded,
though labors such as these have exacted
and exhibited the abilities of our foremost
statesmen since the constitution Of govern
ment; but there is also an exhausting
round OF daily administrative tasks, which
however subordinate and clerical. an eff
cient Secretary OF the Treasury cannot, or
should not, evade. These are tasks beyond
my present strength. Therefore submit to
your considerate judgment that in asking
my release by the 4th OF March, or as soon
AS you may select my successor, fulfill a
duty to my family that may now be per-
mitted to outweigh the duty of accepting
longer that assignment of public service |
which, two years ago, you did me the honor |
to make. Returning to the ranks of that |
great party which has called you to it's lead, |
l shall still hope to follow its fortunes |
under your successful guidance, with a |
loyal pride. Very respect |
fully yours, DANIEL MANNING.

Sparks Land Decisions Reversed.

WASHINGTON, February 17.-Land Com
missioner Sparks, whose opinions have to
be reversed with such regularity that Mr..
jerks suggests turn-table as a necessary
piece OF furniture for the Interior Depart
ment, gave another opinion few days ago
in the Louisiana swamp land cases. On
the principle that such uncertain deliver
ances should not 60 before the public with
out review by competent authority, it was
sent to the Attorney General and examined
and made it's appearance again yesterday
reversed.
The question involved was the idemnity
due the state for swamp lands taken up
between the passage of the local swamp
land act of 1S49 and the general act of
1850. The commissioner decided that no
idemnity was to be paid. The Attorney
General turned his opinion around to hold
that it must be, and in the latter shape the
opinion now stands as law. Mr.. Sparks
was very indignant about the reversal, but
it is not probable that he will resign. A
careful examination of the records shows
that he has had the same opportunity to
resign forty-seven times since his appoint
ment and has not accepted once.

tame, but Buckley was treated to vigor.
GUS left-handed punishment, throughout
which he could not escape. Buckley is very
gamy, but lacks training and skill. It il
claimed that if he had pressed the battle

He failed to do this and Huntington recov.
out On the 25th round. Buckley did not

The report that Editor j. 8. Dickerson

Cowboys Matinee.

New YORK, February 17.-It was a very
peculiar matinee given at the Star theatre
yesterday. The air was heavy with the
flavor of the stables, the laughter was
strongly hearty, and the parquette was
made picturesque or uncouth as one looks
at that sort of thing. 1t was hundred or
more cowboys who brought the stable
flavor to the theatre. It was q crowd of
Indians, squaws and papooses that made
the parquette look queer. They were
adorned with the brightest of war paint,
their best blankets and new turkey feathers.
The queer audience was made up of the
performers of the Wild West show,
who were taking in their first professional
matinee. Nate Salisbury, one of the pro-
prietors of the Wild West enterprise was
playing at the queer audience and the
"Humming Bird" was studded by Miss Nc
Henry with allusions to the people and in
cidents of the cowboy Indian drama. The
cowboys laughed at everything and whis-
tied and applauded like gallery gods in a
bowery show. The Indians did not know
exactly what to make of it, though they
seemed to enjoy the singing and applauded
it after their uncivilized fashion, but they
thoroughly understood Nate Salisbury's g
appearance in plug hat and horse blanket
in his imitation of Matamora or some
other Indian, and they responded to his
war whoop in a lively fashion.

Special to the Republican says:
The Jicarilla Apaches have become
dissatisfied and are leaving their
reservation in Southern New Mexico in
large numbers for their old reservation in
Southwestern Colorado. Taeir agent

matter and two companies OF calvalry have
been ordered from Fort Lewis to Amargo
to intercept them. Trouble between the In
dians and the settlers is anticipated.

Castor oil is an excellent lubri-
Gator for axles, but used alone
may gum too much. This is cor
rected by the addition of refined
coal oil that used for lamps), or
lard; the coal-oil is the better.
Some wagons are yet made unpro-
vided with metal shields or ''thim-
bles," being banded with
steel; for these some tallow may
be used, as it Is one of the best
of lubricants when iron and wood
are brought together. Pine tar is
good addition to the lubricant
for wagon axles, and is part of
most of the "axle greases" sold.
Plumbago is another good addi-
ton; its fine particles Ell the small
irregularities in the opposing sur
faces thus making: them smoother.
A mixture of lard and plumbago
is good for the journals of reapers,
mowers, etc. For carriages moth
ingis better than castor oil and a
very little lard-oil or refined coul-
oil.
